Group Insurance

We are pleased to announce our exclusive partnership with the Ontario Teachers Insurance Plan (OTIP). OTIP is a not-for-profit organization, specializing in providing insurance solutions for the education community. For almost 40 years, OTIP has provided ETFO OT members with unique insurance products and services such as home, auto, life and retiree benefits.

Why OTIP?

OTIP was built on the belief that educators, both active and retired, would be better served by a not-for-profit insurance advocate that is part of the education community. This core philosophy remains intact today. OTIP is proudly governed, led and inspired in part by ETFO and is committed to providing quality insurance benefits and advice to our membership.

Whether you are an occasional education employee hoping to be hired full-time, have chosen occasional work to match your lifestyle or are nearing retirement but working occasionally – we have a plan to meet your needs. OTIP also offers the following coverage options to fit your flexible lifestyle:

Extended health care coverage

Dental care coverage

Life insurance

Long-term disability

Group home and auto (tenants, condo, motorcycles)

Travel insurance
